Senator Schaffer talks about his voting record

It has been observed among these observations that our state senator from Lancaster is virtually invisible in Newark. Since then, he's done a bit of self-revelation but nothing very informative.

A few days ago, however, Tim Schaffer provided the WCLT web site a column that tells of his voting activities, and for that he is to be commended.

Usually whenever we hear about the votes of our representatives to the state capitol, it has to do with only the feel-good bills.

Local media can't or won't report on anybody's votes outside the county unless its hand-fed to them as Tim did in his column. A crumb of knowledge about state government, but better than what we've been getting. Here's the link.
